Check out the 105 build in the 'What's New' section. Looks as though he used a BB 'pit and it is just as tall, if not moreso than yours. By the photos, it fills the entire windscreen. http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/J...05D/F-105D.html Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are photos of the BB and Aires, Aires on the left. Big difference in height. It appears that the BB is based off the kit like the Eduards is. The Vertical Instrument on either side of the ADI and HSI appear too tall. First time I have set them side by side. I will be using the Aires set looks like.

Barry Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 A more square on view, you can clearly see the height difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I will be using the Aires set. The “Vertical Scale” Instruments on the panel are very close to scale as well as the ADI and HSI. The side consoles are very well done and are very representative of the actual aircraft. Although all kits have there pros and cons I find that overall Aires offers a very good product for the money.

The only thing I would do, is make the gunsight/cowling closer to the actual thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzcreations Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 im kickin myself that I was cheap and didnt get the Aires..it was actually my first choice..but reality is I couldnt afford it..so now Im stuck here in 'damnit land' anyway...hopefully if anyone cant make the decision, theyll find this post!
